Darkfast Dungeons: Basic Game

Darkfast Dungeons is a print and play tabletop game designed to provide a robust dungeon crawl experience in a couple of hours. Perfect as an introduction for kids or people new to tabletop gaming Darkfast Dungeons is also a great game for more experienced players with limited time or resources to devote to gaming. A typical dungeon crawl will last 2-3 hours and provide a unique adventure with each game played.

There are many ways to play Darkfast Dungeons with rules and scenarios for co-operative games, competitive games and solo play.

Print and play cardstock games and miniatures are an affordable and attractive alternative to metal or plastic miniatures. Print as many as you like as often as you like.

Elements of this game may also be used to enhance the experience of other tabletop games when used as scenery, terrain, miniatures or props.

Designed and created by two time nominated ENnie Award artist and writer David Okum, Darkfast Dungeons is sure to be a useful addition to fantasy gaming miniatures and terrain and a fun game to play in its own right. But don't just take our word for it...

"The system is simple enough for younger players, and they should enjoy the look of the characters & monsters when printed out."- Stephen Y.

"I like DFD Basic Rules Edition very much... If you're in the market for a tabletop game and don't mind a bit of extra effort to put it together, DFD is definately worth a buy." - J.L. Duncan, Knights of the Dinner Table #223

I'm having problems downloading these files; the downloads always fail for no apparent reason. They just stop after a while, incomplete. Could you please check if it's on your end? I'm having no trouble downloading other files from DriveThru.

Just downloaded and all I got was a file with the role book and tiles. Should there be more in this file?

A little late to reply, but one ZIP file has the rules and tiles, the other has the minis, cards, tables etc.

I had the privilege of reviewing DarkFast Dungeons for Knights of the Dinner Table. The entirely of that review is published on my blog. Here: http://withinthedungeon.blogspot.com/2016/10/rpg-review-darkfast-dungeons.html

This product is simple... But, it isn't as simple as it first seems with a good amount of replay-ability, which is pretty important for a print and play product. The art is excellent and the individual character templates and missions are a nice aspects... Also no DM required, which makes DFD a great introduction game for those on the fence about RPGs. If you're looking to bring you tabletop friends closer to an RPG experience I can't recommend this product enough.

this is an excellent game, either for solo play or in a group. The "dark secret' cards make every game unpredictable, and the monsters are not just walking targets. The game looks good, flows well, and is exciting to the last turn.

An interesting 'tabletop' RPG, using a D6 system.
The artwork reminds me of the 'Saturday cartoon' shows - (not a bad thing); quite good. 2 folders are downloaded: no 1: the main rulebook & dungeon tiles. No 2: the counters, character cards [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
